How much water do you put in an omelette?
Chef's answer
One teaspoon of cold water per large egg will make a difference in the fluffiness of the omelette. Though it would seem that the addition of water would dilute the egg mixture, what happens with much of the water is that it becomes steam upon hitting the pan. Our favorite recipe uses balsamic vinaigrette, ground mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Make sure the gammon is kept cold during the soaking and the water needs to be changed every 6-8 hours (change halfway through for smaller joints).
